Trump’s 2024 ‘mandate’ isn’t as robust as Biden’s was in 2020
Washington Post via MSN ^ | 11/18/24 | Phillip Bump

A lot of early analysis of the 2024 presidential election has suffered from three overlapping problems.

First, that vote margins can be influenced by changes in turnout as well as changes in vote preference. If voters stay home, the candidate they would have supported receives fewer votes. And it looks like a lot of 2020 voters stayed home in 2024.

But — second — not as many as one might have thought in the first few days after the election. Many immediate analyses of what happened exaggerated the decrease in Democratic votes or suggested that Donald Trump won an outright majority of votes cast, both errors that were a function of failing to consider (particularly) California’s sizable, slow-to-count vote total.

The third problem is that the shift to Trump in the voting — real and widespread — is being conflated with broad support for Trump, which is far less dramatic. It’s the difference between noting that exit polls show Trump fared much better with voters under 30 than he did in 2020, and acknowledging that he lost that age group to Vice President Kamala Harris. He didn’t lose them by as much, but he still lost them.

By law California does not permit the polls to require voter identification; you can imagine how easy it is for noncitizens to vote in the millions. And try getting on an airplane in that state without an ID.

Was obviously fraudulent at the time. Even more so now.

Sacks and sacks of ballots no doubt, used to flip House races for the most part, I think. Trump gave such a succinct argument for water-marked paper ballots, one election day, more secure , less costly elections; I wonder if he would need Democrat votes to get it enacted

I read somewhere recently that the reason radical leftists are screaming about the LGBTQ losing rights is because their plan to move the Overton window WRT normalizing trannies depended on Kamala winning. With Trump & conservatives in charge again, their plans came to a screeching halt and now they have the sadz.

Is “robust” a new euphemism for “stolen”?

Just looking at the statistics for number of total votes cast over several elections, the year 2020 was so anomalous as to indicate fraud. Roughly speaking:
Everything tanked in America in 2020 except the vote totals which were way, way, way out of line with what one would expect. President Trump was right. Massive voter fraud was committed in 2020 as indicated by excess votes registered.

They are counting the fraud votes as people that stayed home. Apparently a large number of nonexistent voters are enough to make a mandate and enough to negate a mandate when they don’t vote.

Only if you count the fake votes. You count the real votes, and Trump blew that sack of sh*t out of the water!

Biden didn’t have a mandate, he was installed
